I think the issue was by ths following , Yes, this actually involves two things:
Making the EditText accept multi-line input. Having its height grow as more text lines are added.

code :

android:inputType="textMultiLine"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

<EditText
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:inputType="textMultiLine"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:hint="@string/write_message"
    android:textColorHint="@color/primary_color"
    android:ems="10"
    android:imeOptions="actionDone"
    android:id="@+id/message_input"
    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:backgroundTint="@color/primary_color"/>

With these it helps I have an edittext field. As I type and characters exceed the maxlength of it there appears a new row to continue typing. However, I want to avoid this behavior since there is map below it which is going down relatively. , define following parameters in your xml under the edittext tag:

code :

android:singleLine="true"

fixed the issue. Will look into that further I've implemented a simple code that works in all Android's sdk versions.
See below its working and the code.

code :

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
       android:id="@+id/text_wrap"
       android:layout_width="match_parent"

       android:orientation="horizontal"
       android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
       android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
       android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
       android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" >

       <TextView
           android:id="@+id/text"
           android:layout_width="match_parent"
           android:layout_height="wrap_content"
